That brings an end to the Ranji Trophy coverage. Hope you have enjoyed it. Switch tabs to catch the action from the T20I between Sri Lanka and Australia. Till then, goodbye and goodnight

Agarkar goes forward to take the huge Ranji Trophy. Everyone of the Mumbai team is signing autographs. Sachin just signed on the camera. Happy scenes.

Ajit Agarkar: We have got a proud bunch of boys. I couldn't be happier. We have got new players coming in and they have done well. It's important that you lead from the front. We have all grown up knowing the history of Mumbai cricket. We are very proud to be part of that. Sachin being in the side was great timing for us.

Wasim Jaffer: Great moment to get a century in the final. Very happy for the team. Even in the league stages, our catching was poor. Once we qualified, we upped our game. I think once we got them out for 140 odd, we needed to bat well. The bowlers did really well. This wicket had much more help for the bowlers. Dhawal was bowling well in the early games, but was a bit unlucky.

Wasim Jaffer is the Man of the Match.

Jaydev Shah: I think Mumbai outplayed us in every department. We will come harder next year after working on our game. We got to the final with a lot of youngsters. Cricket is always a learning experience. Vishal Joshi played well in the last game

This is an astounding 40th Ranji Trophy win for Mumbai. Like the saying goes, 'As the going gets tough, the tough get going', Mumbai have come up trumps in the knock-out stages. Dhawal Kulkarni gave yet another indication of how good a bowler he transforms into if the pitch is offering some assistance. Ajit Agarkar put in a fiery bowling display as well, while Wasim Jaffer proved that he is still one of the best opening batsmen in India.

It was waiting to happen. Ever since Saurashtra were dismissed for a paltry total on the 1st day, they never looked like being in the same league as the hosts. Mumbai did not play at their best, but even that proved too much for the weak Saurashtra team.

Mumbai have won the toss and elected to field

Pitch Report: There is a nice spread of grass on this wicket. There is a fair bit of moisture on this wicket. If the bowlers hit the seam, they will get some movement. The batsmen have to see the first session off.

26th January is a special day for us. Here is wishing all of you a very happy Republic Day.
